Merci Thanks for all your help, which has been fab. I will dole out the lollies over the next few days. Cheers, Chris.

Protocols for clinical exercise testing include an initial warm-up (low load), progressive uninterrupted exercise with increasing loads and an adequate time interval in each level, and a recovery period.

Teste Ergométrico: Limitação da capacidade funcional (<5 MET), Angina em carga baixa (<5 MET), Infradesnível do segmento ST precoce (carga baixa)...
